Fall 2014

I start teaching at ISU on Monday, August 25th. I was originally scheduled to teach three courses, but I was recently asked if I wanted to teach a fourth class so I am now teaching an additional section of English 250.

I start moving into my new apartment on Monday, September 1st (Labor Day).

I've been writing some new pieces.

My brother is getting married in late September.

I will be in Minneapolis for a weekend this fall. (Probably in October.)
